Chapter 179 Undercurrent
Chapter 179 Undercurrent
After seeing Akaza's body completely disintegrate and disappear with their own eyes, Tanjiro and the others finally believed the fact that Akaza was dead, and their whole bodies suddenly collapsed.
It's no wonder they are so cautious, it's because Akaza is really too excessive.
Not to mention that the neck can grow back after being cut off, the final state is simply against the will of heaven. The body is like an indestructible diamond, and the destructive power is also astonishingly strong.
However, this battle is over. Although Akaza chose to destroy himself for some unknown reason, the ending seems to be good...
After recovering, Tanjiro turned around and hugged the two of them. They were stunned at first, but then after seeing Tanjiro crying inconsolably, they smiled at each other.
"Wow... Kyojuro-sama and Giyu-san, I'm so glad you're safe..."
Tanjiro may appear strong on the outside, but he was also strong on the inside, but the feeling of despair he felt when he was the only one left a few minutes ago, with Giyuu and Kyojuro's fate unknown, was too much.
Although he is very strong and has a strong mind, he is only fifteen years old after all. For Tanjiro, who has regarded the Demon Slayer Corps as his second home, not everyone can rekindle his fighting spirit and endure until now under such circumstances.
After a few seconds of calming down, the three of them collapsed in the camp due to excessive fatigue, and each of them looked for some medicine and bandages they had on them to heal their wounds.
During this process, Tanjiro asked some questions in his mind and asked Kyojuro how the wound on his back healed, considering that the bone was visible.
In response to this question, Kyojuro looked at Tanjiro seriously, seemed to be thinking for a while, and then spoke.
"I don't know! After waking up, I found that my injury had healed, and the other minor injuries were also healed. I just feel very tired, hahahaha!!"
Although Kyojuro couldn't explain it clearly and didn't know what had happened, after Tanjiro thought about it, a possibility emerged.
"An injury that healed inexplicably..." Yiyong frowned slightly, then pointed to his toned abdomen and shoulders, which were exposed due to his torn clothes, and said slowly:
"My upper body seemed to be shattered during the battle with the Upper Rank Demon, but a strange power with a red glow restored my flesh."
[“Yes! That’s the ability of Brahma Palace… the Demon King Muzan!”]
Through Giyu's description, Tanjiro, who has experienced this many times, is 100% sure that it was the Demon King who did it.
After a moment of silence, Tanjiro did not tell the two the answer. After all, they were now on opposite sides...
So Tanjiro changed the question, and that question was how the flames spreading from Kyojuro's breathing method could change shape into armor, and how Giyuu's Sun Blade was formed by his breathing method.
As for this question, the two of them gave an answer very quickly. The feeling was similar to activating the markings, but it seemed to be more demanding than the markings.
The heart will beat violently and you will feel severe pain, followed by a burning sensation that spreads from the heart to all parts of the body. Then, in that situation, use the fully concentrated breathing method, and it will be done.
"After completion, the breathing method undergoes sexual changes, can change shape, and the strength of the body and power will increase."
Kyojuro said slowly, then stood up and demonstrated to Tanjiro, taking a deep breath.
The next moment, flames rose up, slowly attached to Xing Shoulang's body and gathered in his hands.
The flaming armor and flaming sun blade appeared before his eyes, and then Giyuu also demonstrated it, which dazzled Tanjiro and made his eyes widen.
But Tanjiro didn't try it, because from the description, it seemed that such a situation would only occur after a battle.
Tanjiro however wondered why he hadn't felt that way during his battle with Akaza, but he quickly put the thought aside.
Because Tanjiro thought of his master, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who must know the founder of the breathing method.
The reason why it was not said out loud was probably because of the harsh conditions.
In the end, it was Kyojuro and Giyuu who asked Tanjiro.
"Young man, the humming sound produced by your Nichirin Sword when it vibrated brought me back to consciousness when I was unconscious, and it also made my stopped heart beat again."
As Kyojuro spoke, he reached out to his chest, touching the area of his heart where Akaza had hit him, and felt his heart beating.
"And the person transformed from flames... judging by his clothes and mask, he should be a craftsman from the swordsmith village." Kyojuro added another question.
"Me too." Yiyong on the side echoed.
Tanjiro was also unclear about these questions and was equally confused. He lowered his head and looked at the Nichirin Sword and told what he knew.
"This sword was found in the Swordsmith Village, inside a mechanical training doll that resembled Master Yoriichi. Master Yoriichi said he used it. As for the others, I don't know."
Hearing this, the two stopped asking questions and prepared to pack up their things before going to help other battlefields. Although they had only chatted for a few minutes from the beginning until now, they felt that they could not stay like this forever.
Kyojuro and Giyu each picked up the broken Nichirin Sword. Although their current breathing techniques could make up for it, it was still a weapon that had been with them for a long time.
Suddenly, Kyojuro had an idea and quickly asked Giyuu and Tanjiro to come over to his side, and then began the performance.
Kyojuro carefully put the broken parts of the Sun Blade together, then used breathing techniques to wrap the broken part with flames. After dozens of seconds, the flames were removed, and the complete Sun Blade appeared before his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the two of them gave a thumbs up in shock.
After Giyu's Nichirin Sword was fully restored, the three of them were ready and set off, guided by Tanjiro's sense of smell.
At the same time, several crows flew out and circled above the three people's heads, cawed.
"Gaga! Tokito Ichirō and Hashibira Inosuke are fighting against the Upper Six. The battlefield is destroyed and no one knows whether they are alive or dead! Gaga!"
"Gaga! Agatsuma Zenitsu fought against the Upper Four. He didn't kill him, but he managed to severely injure and repel him!"
"Gaga! Iguro Obanai and Kanroji Mitsuri, with the help of Tsugikoku Yoriichi, cut off half of Bonmiya Shino's body, but due to the power of the blood demon art, they were unable to kill him!"
"Gaga! Rintaki Sento is fighting an unknown evil spirit and is trapped in a black shrouded space. His life or death is unknown! And Tsugikoku Yoriichi is heading in that direction!"
"Gaga! Chocho Kanae, Chocho Shinobu, Chocho Kanao. They're fighting against the Upper Rank Two. During the battle, Kotonoha Hashibira joins the fight, and the Upper Rank Two suddenly surrenders and is captured!"
A series of information came from the mouth of Crow. The three of them hurried on their way while listening to the information. Then Crow also reported the information about the victory of the three against Upper Three.
————Demon Slayer Corps Secret Base
In a secret house far away, the 98th lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Teriyachi, completed the composition of the Infinite Castle. He raised his head with sweat on his forehead and looked at Uzui Tengen and the former Flame Pillar who were kneeling in front of him.
He agreed to let the former Flame Pillarsuke go to the battlefield, but rejected Uzui Tengen because his wife was pregnant, and Kousuke Teriyaki couldn't bear to see the father of the unborn child have an accident, so he sternly refused!
Therefore, the former Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro went to the Infinite Castle battlefield, and Tengen Uzui stayed behind to guard the place together with the two former pillars.
————The border between heaven and hell
After Komaji and Koyuki hugged each other for a long time, the souls of his father and master also came over. Komaji suddenly stood up and told his three relatives something with an embarrassed look on his face.
The father and the master looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Lianxue. Lianxue was looking at her husband angrily, with a face full of unhappiness.
But in the end she smiled, hugged her husband and spoke softly.
"I will continue to wait for you, Komaji-nii."
————In the Infinite City
The ground where Akaza disappeared suddenly flashed with a light that was too bright to look at directly, and a figure like a god suddenly appeared in that place.
The next moment, the light faded, revealing Komaji in a Taoist robe. At the same time, a suspended black halo gradually appeared behind Komaji.
